Gardaí have renewed their appeal for witnesses to a suspected arson attack at the home of a garda member’s home on Sunday night.

The garda was home with his wife and small children when the fire erupted at Hawthorn Crescent in the Bay Estate in Dundalk.

It caused significant damage to the outside of the home before it was brought under control by emergency services.

No-one was injured in the fire and the Garda investigation is ongoing.

This evening, investigators said they wanted to talk to any drivers that may have video footage from the Cherryvale Avenue and Hazelwood Avenue areas of the estate between 10:45pm and 11:45pm.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact gardaí.
